The Asustek Zenfone phone is still unable to unlock the Bootloader, which officials said a few months ago was only temporary maintenance

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens and soft media users for 1520111 clue delivery! CTOnews.com, November 13, the "small screen flagship" Zenfone 10 phone launched by Asustek in the first half of this year has been released for some time, after it was reported that the official has turned off its function of unlocking Bootloader, but in August this year, Asustek denied this claim through a spokesman: temporary maintenance, the follow-up will still allow users to unlock.

According to foreign media Android Authority reported today, the time has come, Zenfone 10 Bootloader unlocking tools are still nowhere to be found, at this stage unlocking or even "not even theoretically possible." It is not only old models such as Zenfone 10 and Zenfone 9 and ROG Phone 7 that currently cannot be unlocked by Bootloader.

Reported that Asustek previously has a "always excellent" performance of the enthusiast community, its phones were once relatively easy to unlock through Bootloader, and officials will personally provide resources for the developer community of popular models.

For users who want to root their phones or swipe their phones, the tools used to unlock Bootloader are essential, otherwise users will not be able to install any third-party ROM, kernel or modify the advanced features of the phone. As things have not taken a turn for the better for months, people are no longer confident about whether Asustek phones will continue to support unlocking and root in the future.

Integrated CTOnews.com previously reported that Asustek officially released the kernel source code, firmware and Bootloader unlocking tools of Zenfone 9 last year, but earlier this year, overseas users claimed that the Asustek support team made it clear in an email that the Bootloader for unlocking Zenfone 9 and Zenfone 10 was no longer available.

In August, Mishaal Rahman, a reliable Android whistleblower, posted on the X platform that the official technical team's statement was wrong. He asked an Asustek PR contact and got the following statement: "the response from the service team misunderstood the situation. The unlocking tool is not currently available, but we allow it to be unlocked. Please stay tuned."
